Hydrokinetic drives

H. are liquids that transfer energy in fluid-filled systems, either by pressure (hydrostatic drives) or by flow (hydrokinetic drives). 

Hydrod3Tiamic power transmissions— also called tuibotransmissions or hydrokinetic drives—are hydraulic converters. These converters change the speed and torque between input and output shafts steplessly and automatically. The energy is transmitted by a fluid as medium power transmissions fundamentally differ from all other power transmissions. This applies in particular to all mechanical power transmissions.
